Price comparison websites are not always the best place to buy flood insurance. Contact companies directly or speak to an insurance broker through the British Insurance Brokers’ Association to find the right policy for you. 

We have worked with the British Insurance Brokers’ Association and Flood Re to launch a Flood Insurance Directory. This directory lists specialist flood insurance providers well placed to find insurance solutions for households struggling to obtain flood cover. 

Check first if your insurer is able to take surveys into account when assessing whether to insure your property. 

Examples include flood doors, airbrick covers and raised electrical sockets. Consider this in parallel with a property-level flood risk survey. 

This national charity supports individuals and communities at risk of flooding.
